Retired Admiral James Stavridis talks to the media about the meeting with Donald Trump and the Trump transition team today in HQ.  The media frame this meeting as Stavridis floated as potential cabinet pick. WE DOUBT.

Stavridis was former head of NATO Allied Command during the most consequential NATO intervention in the Mid-East. The Obama/Clinton/Panetta NATO attack against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.  It was Stavridis who coordinated the intervention on behalf of the U.S. State Department, CIA, White House and French leader Nicolas Sarzoky.
Hopefully, this meeting was simply to gain Stavridis perspective on the construct of the current NATO architecture.   Admiral Stavridis is an interventionist’s globalist.

…“and we will win, and you will win, and we will keep on winning, and eventually you will say we can’t take all of this winning, …please Mr. Trump …and I will say, NO, we will win, and we will keep on winning”.

President-elect Donald Trump continues to frustrate the legacy media by making his announcements around the traditional media enterprises; this time via Facebook.
A secondary source of media antagonism is the lack of institutional academics amid all of the various appointees and nominees.  The professional left are apoplectic about Donald Trump continuing to select successful private sector captains of industry and action-oriented military leaders.  The absence of institutionally academic wonks is making the media very unhappy.
Then again, the old axiom is self-evident:

Those that can, do. Those that can’t, opine about those that can…

(New York, NY) – President-elect Donald J. Trump today announced his intent to nominate Linda McMahon to serve as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration, a cabinet-level position.

For more than a year we have been discussing the Trump ‘America-First’ economic platform.  Within the discussion you may remember the following:

[…]  In addition, an unquantifiable benefit comes from investment, where the smart money play -to get increased return on investment- becomes putting capital INTO the U.S. economy,… (read more)

Today Trans-Lux, a manufacturer of LCD and LED displays, announces that Trump’s victory has pushed the company to shift back from China to the U.S.A.:

[…]  “Earlier this year, we didn’t think Donald Trump would win,” said Allain. “But we closely watched his campaign and listened to his protectionist rhetoric. His win forced us to reevaluate our plans in China.”

“Now with Trump’s win, Allain said the company is accelerating its move back to the U.S., with the goal to make all of its products in America within a year. (read more)

The always condescending Matt Lauer interviews President-elect Donald Trump about his selection as Time Magazine’s Man of the Year:

Time Magazine has announced President-elect Donald Trump as the Person of the Year.

Obviously Time Magazine found themselves in a quandary.  Factually, it was self-evident that no other person had as much influence over U.S. and global affairs than Donald Trump.  However, actually making this announcement would mean promoting the personification of a person fundamentally against everything the ideological left-wing moonbats stand for.
Hence, the ridiculing tone and tenor of their accompanying editorial – READ HERE.

For those who have followed the construct of the transition nominees this report does seem to highlight the most likely outcome for the Department of Homeland Security.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is the subject matter expert on how to implement and strengthen the legal enforcement of current immigration laws.  General Kelly would balance the department with a more external focus on threat assessment/prevention. 
Regardless of the appointees, the Trump security policy itself will face rabid opposition from the immigration usurpers within the DC UniParty.  In addition to all Democrats, Decepticon leadership, ie. those paid by Tom Donohue’s expansive lobbying, including: Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Mitch McConnell, Orin Hatch and John Cornyn within the Senate; along with Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Mick Mulvaney etc. within the House.

If anyone thought a Michigan ballot recount was going to end up being a net positive for Hillary Clinton, they are intellectually disconnected from understanding the reality of how fraudulent the most democrat precincts are in Wayne County (Detroit) Michigan.
Election laws put into place specifically to protect the fraud, and ensure the manipulative discoveries are never identified, now mean the votes cannot be recounted.

MICHIGAN – One-third of precincts in Wayne County could be disqualified from an unprecedented statewide recount of presidential election results because of problems with ballots.
Michigan’s largest county voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, but officials couldn’t reconcile vote totals for 610 of 1,680 precincts during a countywide canvass of vote results late last month. (more…)

It’s not yet on the Trump Schedule, however additional people are reporting a likelihood of a return visit by President-elect Donald Trump to Louisiana.  
The last trip by Donald Trump and Mike Pence was during the severe flooding earlier in the year, where both candidates wanted to show their support for the community and relief efforts.   Hillary Clinton also promised to visit, but never did. 
There is an ongoing Senate race in Louisiana where the republican state treasurer John Kennedy is favored to win the election.  A visit by Donald Trump would surely boost their supporters.

BATON ROUGE – President-elect Donald Trump is expected in Baton Rouge Friday afternoon, multiple sources told WBRZ Tuesday.
Sources spoke on condition of anonymity as the event is still being planned.  Two sources with knowledge of a planned visit said staff were trying to find a venue.  Before the election, Trump’s schedule was regularly updated with seemingly spur-of-the-moment rallies that were heavily attended.  Events are known to attract thousands of people.
